Boulevard/Glenwood Crossing Concept
View PDFReducing Traffic Congestion, Improving East-West Bike Route
Phase 1: Glenwood Ave could be connected to the Boulevard intersection on the north side of the fire station. A new traffic light could be added to allow for a direct bike and pedestrian crossing at Glenwood Ave. Access to Boulevard from an eastbound Glenwood Ave would reduce traffic on Cherokee and Sydney by Dakota Blue. Traffic would also be reduced at the two turns by CVS, which have no traffic lights.
Phase 2: GDOT adds left-turn route from I-20 freeway-exit using oneway streatch of Glenwood Ave. Traffic exiting freeway crosses Boulevard heading east on Glenwood.
1. Allows freeway traffic and neighborhood traffic to continue straight toward Kroger without using neighborhood backstreets by CVS.
2. Reduces vehicle traffic at Beltline crossings on Bill Kennedy Way in Glenwood Park by Kroger.
3. Addition of left turn from westbound Glenwood Avenue to southbound Boulevard further reduces traffic on neighborhood streets east of Boulevard.
4. Aligns crosswalk with a new protected multiuse bike path on Glenwood Ave from Boulevard to MHJ High School and the Beltline.
